EpiPen Lawsuits

EpiPens are auto-injector
medical devices that administer a dose of epinephrine to control the serious and sometimes
life-threatening symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, also known as
anaphylaxis. When individuals with serious allergies are exposed to allergens
from food, medications, latex, or other sources, EpiPens can be life-saving
devices – provided that they work as intended. Unfortunately, as
recent warnings from the FDA have revealed, potential defects may prevent
EpiPens from working when they are needed most.

At Spangenberg Shibley & Liber LLP, our Cleveland-based personal injury
lawyers are currently accepting cases from victims nationwide who believe
they were harmed as a result of potentially faulty EpiPens, as well as
families who believe their loved one’s death resulted from a defective
EpiPen. According to a recent FDA warning letter, the EpiPen may have
dangerous defects that prevent the auto-injector device from firing and
administering epinephrine during anaphylaxis – which has resulted
in numerous reports of consumers suffering serious illness and death.

Dangerous Defects with EpiPen Auto-Injectors

According to an
FDA warning letter released in September 2017, Meridian Medical Technologies failed to adequately
investigate reports of malfunctioning EpiPens – including reports
in which potentially defective EpiPens resulted in consumers suffering
serious illnesses and death. The warning letter details serious violations
of safe manufacturing practices.

Following an FDA investigation during which Meridian employees admitted
that they did not disassemble and investigate the majority of potentially
faulty EpiPens sent back to the company by consumers, Mylan issued a recall
of 13 lots of its EpiPen and EpiPen Jr auto-injector distributed between
December 2015 and July 2016. You can learn more about the EpiPen recall
here.

Do I Have a Case?

Victims harmed as a result of product manufacturers who fail to ensure
the safety of their products and who fail to warn consumers about potential
concerns can be held civilly liable for their negligence and the damages
suffered by victims, including any medical expenses, pain and suffering,
and lost income, among other damages.

In order to have a potential claim for compensation under product liability
laws, you or a loved one must have suffered damages as a result of a malfunctioning
EpiPen or EpiPen Jr. that failed to fire and administer a dose of epinephrine
during an allergic reaction. As reported by the FDA, potentially faulty
units of the EpiPen and EpiPen Jr. auto-injector have already been linked
to numerous cases of injury, illness, and death.
